Question

一道英语单选
A thief who broke into a church was caught because traces of wax, found on his clothes, from the sort of candles used only in churches.
A.had come
B.coming
C.come
D.that came
为什么选A?B和D为什么不行?

Answer 1

可以通过分析句子结构来确定答案:A thief who broke into a church was caught 是主句,后面是一个because引导的原因状语从句traces of wax是从句的主语,found on his clothes是过去分词短语作它的定语,used only in churches是过去分词短语作the sort of candles的定语,显然from前面缺乏本句的谓语动词,四个选项中能作谓语动词的只有A、C,根据对主从句两个动作发生的先后顺序分析,身上先沾上蜡,才导致后来被抓,由此敲定答案为A.
